July 11, 2016 Test adapter

How many times have you wrapped a wire around a Multimeter Test probe only to have it fall of a dozen times before you're finished testing something? Ever use the Alligator Clips that push on to your test probes only to find out they're way to big and won't grip the tiny item you're trying to test?I have standardized on the 0.100" spacing micro connectors for my railroad so having adapters readily available it a must. The picture below shows some of my adapters, you're only limited to your imagination for making it easier to construct and test your miniature devices.

My First HO Locomotive

Way back in the fall of 1952 I bought my first HO Locomotive, it was a MDC/Model Roundhouse 0-6-0 Switch Engine Kit, I still have it and it is still in prefect condition. It cost $6.85 back then, I used my Newspaper Route money to purchase it from H&H Hobby Shop in El Paso Texas.

My Greatest Railroad Treasure

It's a Fawcett Book Number 133, it cost 45¢ in 1951. That was a lot of money in 1951, a 24 bottle case of Cokes was 65¢ back then. There is an article starting on page 28 on John Allen's railroad, there is only 4 pages on his layout but I was hooked on HO scale from that day on.
